But I must admit that I did not call.

Chorus.

For her papa was there, her papa was there,

I saw his tin whiskers and bald head of hair,

He’s a foot that can kick and a tongue that can swear,

So I didn’t call, for her papa was there!

Her dad is awfully good,

Never goes giddy, never goes giddy,

Won’t look at anything rude,

That’s what his family thinks.
